Golf fans will be treated to a Great British summer of European Tour golf as tickets go on sale for the Cazoo Open, the Hero Open and Cazoo Classic, three events across July and August which will take place in Wales, Scotland and England respectively.
Sam Horsfield claimed his maiden European Tour title at the Hero Open after showing nerves of steel down the stretch to beat off the challenge of Belgium's Thomas Detry and seal a one-stroke victory.
Italian Renato Paratore produced a dominate display of front running to claim his second European Tour title with a three shot victory in the Betfred British Masters hosted by Lee Westwood at Close House. The 23-year-old converted his one stroke overnight advantage with a two-under par final round of 69 to finish on 18 under par, with Denmark’s 19-year-old Rasmus Højgaard runner up on 15 under.
This week’s Betfred British Masters hosted by Lee Westwood marks the beginning of the European Tour’s UK Swing, and former World Number One Westwood enters the week not only as tournament host but also as one of the favourites to take the title. Westwood has been on a strict health regime and has never felt fitter, so he will be a force to be reckoned with at his home course.
Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, has been announced as the Title Partner of the Hero Open – the second of six events in the European Tour’s new UK Swing. Originally announced as the English Open, the newly named Hero Open takes place at the Marriott Forest of Arden, Birmingham, England from July 30 – August 2.
